It's a great game, well, good for a first draft. A sequel would be amazing, as they could expand on the levels, make it a little more free roam, but it's cool.

Think Shaolin Monks, without being able to go back to different worlds. The characters all generally play the same, which is good or bad depending on your personal style. You don't have to learn a crap load of different moves for each character, and once you've got things down, you can really get by playing as anyone.

I think too much credibility is given to the Imperfects in the game, as they pretty much make a completely new set of characters equal level compared to established characters that have experience in addtion to their powers.

I, as a fan, love this game and the variety...I think it shows potential in making a sequel, but as you've noticed, most people really don't like it.

Ever since the Grand Theft Auto series, there's really no reason for NOT making a game free roam...or at least expanding the levels. They can get a little repetitive, and the computer will cheese you sometimes (like Storm starting the fight by blasting you with lightning bolts that you can dodge over and over and over), but it's still enjoyable.

...I will say that X-Men legends 1 and 2 are a bit better, but completely different style of game. Looking forward to the Marvel version comin' out soon.

It would have been nice to see this game like GTA, then when you go into battles, it switches into a fighting game format. *sigh* Maybe next time.

You guys r kidding me. This game owns. If you beat the story mode then just do versus. That never gets old. And if ur a n00b the keep doing versus and you'll learn new combos and different things about characters. This game is definately worth buying. What do u guys think of Marvel:Ultimate Alliance?

People who are like "I beat in in 5 days" totally miss the point... that's like getting TEKKEN and saying "I beat it in 2 days, not worth buying".

Story mode is a tacked on (and crappy) feature... the fighting game is awesome. Online play is fantastic. I still play the game quite a bit.

As far as sales go, the game did terrible at first, and then EA dropped the price, for 20 bucks this is a fantastic party brawler and worth having in your stack to play when people are over (it's actually as much fun to watch as it is to play). You can pick up and play anyone once you get the game down, but characters are not ballanced so you can play wolverine if you are awesome and let someone who sucks play IronMan and still have a kickass fight where you have to TRY to win. That's what I love about it, because now I play "the Wink" all the time and beat the snot out of guys playing Magneto and IronMan.

All-in-all, this is a very fun game in Vs mode (which is the MAIN GAME), and since you always can play online, it's quite fun and doesn't get old since you can play any character and pretty much figure them out in a few minutes, then it's all about strategy and knowing your opponents weaknesses. For a first run fighter, this game is pretty amazing.
